A square in Ochota named for an Indian ruler
In Warsaw's Ochota district there is a Square of the Good Maharaja. The monument there, unveiled in October 2014, honours the Jam Saheb of Nawanagar, who took in more than 1,000 Polish refugees, mainly children, during the Second World War; another 5,000 found refuge at the Valivade camp near Kolhapur.
The link between Warsaw and India is older than outsourcing. Today it runs through software delivery centres, universities and a daily flight, and the messages that travel along it are mostly practical: a release note, an offer letter, a boarding time.
Those messages leave India on a clock that does not change, for a city whose clock does. Warsaw moves an hour forward on the last Sunday in March and back on the last Sunday in October, so the gap is four and a half hours in winter and three and a half in summer. InfiQ's own support desk works India time, in English and Hindi.
